Default Re: Anyone know this supposed L89 Camaro convert ?

You mean Houndstooth was not an RPO for "regular" Camaro ragtops?

Wow, didn't know that!

Yes it wasn't durable enough to be used in a convert (fading and staining). I was called to inspect the car about 2 years ago. I had the potential buyer send me pics of trim tag and stampings. I told him I rather not waste my time or his money and told him to stay away. It was for sale at a exotic car dealer in Nassau County Long Island. I'm pretty sure its the same convert with houndstooth interior.

Steve, it was at Exotic Classics in LI. I saw it during an NCRS event and my comments were identical at the time. Interesting how it is not listed in the &quot;sold&quot; section of their website?

Somewhere out there you can find the order sheets and the boxes to check for houndstooth are xed out.
